can't decide? choose both!

randolph drops heavies, pensacola drops the fast movers. If you are actually starting class in randolph, then you will need to start shifting your dreams accordingly. Your only hope is getting bumped to PCola due to Randolph being closed down.

is it common for dudes to wait until they've track selected before thinking about what plane they want to fly?

Roll Calls are fun, and got to see quite a few in AETC that followed the same sequence. Once I left and went on to my operational sq, I started asking about those type of morale events and the majority of the responses I got were "that's a fighter thing, we don't do that...". It sucks squadron morale is viewed as a "fighter thing"! I'd like to start something like that up though, but sometimes people are so set in their ways they go out of their way to not have a good time... As far as the snack bar is concerned... You could always take inventory, calculate what you should have earned and post an integrity % of who is paying. Most guys aren't intentionally ripping off the snack bar, but think "oh, it's just me, it's just a soda" when in fact everyone thinks that, and no one pays. When someone in charge sees the snack bar has a 15% integrity rating, people start paying more often. Also, you can just stop restocking it.

One thing is for sure...they won't be able to call themselves the "Navy SEALs of the sky"...that moniker is already spoken for!

I'm disappointed, I thought this thread was going to display some sexist picture movies for my user ID. Have this fixed!

Thank you for your honesty....now GTFO! stabbed in the back and kicked in the nuts...on the bright side, no more minot?

this one work? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT0GbCIEqDM

yeah, I think my comment only applies to the planes that come at least dual-equipped...

sorry to oversimplify it but... with that logic (everyone else is doing it, drink the koolaid!) you might make O-6 someday... aircrew bitch if you haven't noticed, and I (and pretty much anyone on this board) sympathize with anyone going to cannon. let people vent their concerns and complaints for god's sake without creating more drama...sorry you didn't get the attention they are getting...

I never understood why side-seater's wear them, because in the book it states the shoulder straps won't provide restraint or auto-lock if you are sitting sideways...but god have mercy on you if you get caught without it...

I got a pre...I like it. I have an iPod touch for movies/music during travel, but the Pre is nice. Still learning to us it, but the only complaint so far is battery life, but it's probably just what you pay for a phone with so many bells and whistles. Switched from ATT, and call quality is so much better, plus its cheaper. Sprint also gives you 15% off every monthly recurring fee, whereas ATT only gives it off of the basic package (then you add data, etc and they don't discount it). plus I hate apple, so this works well.

I'm sure it's possible, but when you fail out of flying training, I've been told you face a FEB (flight eval board) and will have to convince a panel of people why they should help you out. Would depend on your circumstances, what people thought of you, etc.

the idea on paper is to produce one product from CSO school. We will see how that goes though...good in theory, but in the end probably not going to work out as well as they hope. Enjoy the guinea pig treatment...

question came up when many people came in asking for it. Looked into it and realized we have no way to verify...aside from just taking guys' word for it (could have been close for a few people)...just wondering how other folks do it. No specific case to speak about...

Thread revival! Just curious, but will flight records show a break in CMR? Was told they didn't keep track of DNIF breaks, etc. Would this be done at the unit level or above?

save your money, or go see Star Trek instead. mediocre at best.

some airlines allow you to cancel for a credit towards that airline for future ticket purchases. Might have to do some digging into the fine print, but as long as you give them adequate notice, some will work with you.

Yeah, definitely going to turn more guys away, but the fun part of EWO school are the later phases... As far as tips for the move... (This is mostly for single guys) When you pack your stuff up and head out, plan on staying in a 400 sq ft apartment with a community kitchen. Anything you would want with you, be sure to have the movers pack together and annotate appropriately on your moving inventory. Anything you wouldn't want clogging up your space, have put in another box. If you get stuck in the dorms, and can't fit all your stuff in the dorm room, you will have two options: #1 get a partial delivery of your stuff and put the rest in long term storage (meaning no-touchie during your time at nav school....1-2yrs). You will need to be able to identify the boxes/items you want delivered off the inventory Joe Schmo made from the moving company. You will need to plan ahead or you will end up with your 200 beer mug collection in a room the size of a hotel room. #2 get a full delivery and foot the bill yourself for a storage locker/friend's garage and have access to it during your time there. You will have a locker cage about 5x5x5 ft to put stuff in like bikes, golf clubs, etc. at the dorms, so you will have some storage, but not enough if you have any furniture or anything.

a good aviator never forgets his checklist... Lust Gluttony Greed Sloth Wrath Envy Pride start at Sapphires...you can knock most of them out there...

(insert your own osprey joke here)

agreed on the slick. Pros for the slick: more than one location to be stationed more opportunities to move to other airframes later on if you want easy transition to a guard C-130 unit if you ever want to jump the fence great low level in colorado you would be involved with flying (drops, low level, etc.) rather than being rather detached from the mission in JSTARS your nuts aren't 6 feet away from a powerful radar (the pilots soak up the trons in the slick) skiing/snowboarding as said before, cheap tickets and close to a lot of great activities While deployment rates in slicks are high, the JSTARS is probably higher. Wikipedia says there are only 17, and being an ISR/C2 platform with AF and army dudes on board you can bet they get tons of real-world and exercise requests all over the world, which means lots of time on the road. Part of the fun of being a HVAA. I would be interested to hear some info about them though, it is a rare thing to see. Always heard JSTARS was a possibility but never saw one drop in the two years I was there. Of course I wasn't always sober by the time they started handing out assignments...those damn long islands will sneak up on you...
